2006-07-28* `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passedEelco Dolstra
to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-28* `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values forEelco Dolstra
functions arguments that have a domain.
2006-07-26* Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()Eelco Dolstra
and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-07-25* `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of aEelco Dolstra
top-level function.
2006-07-25* Applied rbroek's patch from the branch atEelco Dolstra
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/, with some modifications. This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package using `nix-env -i -A'. Example: $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server subversionWithJava subversion-1.2.3 subversion subversion-1.3.2 subversion14 subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1 xorg.xorgserver xorg-server-1.1.0
2006-07-25* Doh.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-25* Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do,Eelco Dolstra
e.g., $ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute names is unambiguous and much, much faster.
2006-07-24* When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument.Eelco Dolstra
Can't be lazy!
2006-07-24* New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a functionEelco Dolstra
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain. E.g., { foo : [true false] , bar : ["a" "b" "c"] }: ... This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration space from functions.
2006-07-24* `touch' might not be in $PATH.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-24* Tests for domain checks.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-24* Refactoring to support domain checks.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-21* Purify `make check'.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-21* Test for runtime root finding.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-21* Don't try to do DNS lookups.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-20* Use $(libexecdir) to find find-runtime-roots.pl.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-20* Doh.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-20* Use debug().Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-20* svn:ignore.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-20* Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to preventEelco Dolstra
running applications etc. from being garbage collected.
2006-07-19* Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector,Eelco Dolstra
such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc. This is inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other platforms. Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in /proc/NNN. The goal is to prevent the garbage collector from removing store paths that are no longer reachable from a permanent root but that are still in use (for instance, after the user has done "nix-env -e" on a running program).
2006-07-19* Add a precise test for hashDerivatioModulo.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-19* Better error messages (especially wrt types).Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-11* Doh! Of couse we cannot memoize across scopes.Eelco Dolstra
2006-07-10* This expression has an undefined variable which isn't detected, soEelco Dolstra
evaluation fails: error: impossible: undefined variable `gcc'
2006-07-06* Allow the canonical system name to be specified at runtime in theEelco Dolstra
Nix config file.
2006-06-27* `nix-env --upgrade --eq': only upgrade if the old version is equalEelco Dolstra
to the new version. This is actually useful.
2006-06-22* Apply the ATerm aliasing patch so that Nix works correctly with gcc 4.1.x.Eelco Dolstra
2006-06-20* Concurrent GC on Cygwin.Eelco Dolstra
2006-06-19* Oops.Eelco Dolstra
2006-06-19* _exit() doesn't seem to work right on Cygwin.Eelco Dolstra
2006-06-19* On Windows we cannot delete open (lock) files, so we delete lockEelco Dolstra
files after we've closed them. Since this only succeeds if the lock is no longer opened by any process, the token trick used on Unix is not necessary.
2006-06-19* Write messages to stderr in a slightly more atomic way. Useful whenEelco Dolstra
there are several parallel processes.
2006-06-16* Skip this test on Cygwin, too slow (and doesn't test anything ↵Eelco Dolstra
Cygwin-specific).
2006-06-16* Show when we're blocked waiting for a lock.Eelco Dolstra
2006-06-15* In `nix-env -i|-u|-e', lock the profile to prevent races betweenEelco Dolstra
concurrent nix-env operations on the same profile. Fixes NIX-7.
2006-06-15* Removed.Eelco Dolstra
2006-06-14(no commit message)Eelco Dolstra
2006-06-14* Fix for a problem with BSD's group ownership semantics when the user Eelco Dolstra
is not in the "wheel" group.
2006-06-14* Oops.Eelco Dolstra
2006-06-07* Fix for a locking bug in Berkeley DB on Cygwin.Rob Vermaas
2006-06-01* Minor cleanup.Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-31* On Cygwin, set the system type to i686-cygwin, and disable dynamicEelco Dolstra
linking.
2006-05-31* svn:ignore.Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-31* For fixed-output derivations, pass the environment variables listedEelco Dolstra
in the attribute variable `impureEnvVars' from the caller to the builder.
2006-05-31* This may be useful in the future.Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-30* Not all platforms have sys/select.h.Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-30* Don't use badTerm, it gives awful error messages.Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-29* Handle $PATHs with spaces.Eelco Dolstra
2006-05-29* Disable the concurrent garbage collector on Cygwin for now.Eelco Dolstra
